To thoroughly implement the strategic deployment outlined in the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Inheritance and Innovative Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine regarding research on dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine and to uphold the development philosophy of equal emphasis on traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine,the China Association of Chinese Medicine has fully played a leading academic role by systematically organizing and conducting a series of academic youth salons on clinical dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine. On September 13,2024,the 36th Youth Salon on Clinical Dominant Diseases was successfully held in Nanjing,focusing on the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and the integrative traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). The conference brought together leading experts from traditional Chinese medicine,western medicine,and interdisciplinary fields,facilitating in-depth multidisciplinary discussions that led to key consensus on optimizing traditional Chinese medicine treatment protocols for ED,researching and developing new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine,and advancing interdisciplinary development in traditional Chinese medicine. This salon systematically sorted out the clinical strengths and distinctive features of traditional Chinese medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of ED. Based on current research foundations and clinical needs,it identified key directions for future scientific layout and scientific research tackling: (1) Standardization of syndrome differentiation system of traditional Chinese medicine for ED. (2) Optimization and standardization of intervention methods of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. (3) High-quality clinical research guided by evidence-based medicine. (4) In-depth analysis of the pharmacological mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of ED. (5) Clinical translation and application promotion of new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine. (6) Interdisciplinary integration and innovation in traditional Chinese medicine. For each research direction,key focus areas,expected objectives,and clinical value were further refined,along with the establishment of a scientifically sound priority funding level evaluation system. Therefore,building on the series of salons on the ED-focused dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine,this paper provides standardized guidance for clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine in ED management,effectively contributing to the high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine. It serves as a valuable reference for national scientific and technological strategic layout, research and development decision-making in new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine,research topic planning,and clinical guideline formulation.

Objective:To analyze the short-term hospital-based transmission characteristics and gene variation of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) by genome-wide technique to provide evidence for transmission control. Methods:The experimental strain was derived from all the CRKP isolated in Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology from October 2022 to December 2023. Strain identification and drug susceptibility were tested with VITEK 2-Compact automatic bacterial identification drug susceptibility analyzer or disk method, and the results were interpreted through whole genome sequencing. The ST type, carbapenem resistance gene, virulence factor, and O serotype of the collected strains were analyzed.Results:Among the 115 strains of CRKP, 94 strains were isolated from the intensive care unit (ICU), accounting for 81.7%, and 21 strains were isolated from the non-intensive care unit (NICU), accounting for 18.3%. The 115 strains of CRKP can be divided into 11 ST types, of which ST11 type was the most (54.8%, 63/115), followed by ST15 type (22.6%, 26/115) and ST5492 type (15.7%, 18/115). Type ST5492 was a new clonal group in the region. The 115 strains of CRKP could be divided into 7 O serotypes, most of which were O2a type(32.2%,37/115), followed by O5 type(30.4%,35/115) and O1 type(27.8%,32/115). The resistance genes of carbapenem antibiotics showed that there were 107 strains carrying the blaKPC-2 gene, one strain with the blaNDM-1 gene, and one strain with both the blaKPC-2 and blaNDM-13 genes. Virulence genes were detected in 55 CRKP strains (47.8%, 55/115), among which six strains detected peg-344, iucA, iroB, rmpA, and rmpA2 virulence genes (5.2%, 6/115). Four virulence genes ( peg-344, iucA, rmpA, and rmpA2) were detected in 34 strains (29.6%, 34/115). Three virulence genes ( iucA, iroB and rmpA) were detected in two strains (1.7%, 2/115). Three virulence genes ( peg-344, iucA and rmpA) were detected in one strain (0.8%, 1/115). IucA and rmpA virulence genes were detected in 12 strains (10.4%, 12/115). KPC-2_ST11_O2a, KPC-2_ST15_O1 and KPC-2_ST5492_O5 were dominant clones, and their distribution was mainly in the intensive care unit. The whole genome sequence analysis showed that there were three dominant clones, among which ST11 clones were subdivided into three dominant O serotypes, all of which were mainly in the intensive care unit. Conclusion:The popular strain in the hospital of CRKP is a KPC-2_ST11 clone group carrying iucA, rmpA/rmpA2, with cross-department transmission and mutation. ST5492 is a newly-launched clone type. The intensive care unit of hvKP carrying five virulence genes, including peg-344, should be alert to the epidemic risk of CR-hvKP outbreak.

Objective:To explore the differences on contraindication information for children in domestic and foreign drug instructions, and provide reference for improving the relevant information in Chinese drug insert sheets.Methods:Chinese drug insert sheets of chemicals and biological products contained in the China Pharmacopoeia 2020 and those of the western medicines in the 2023 China′s Basic Medical Insurance, Work-related Injury Insurance and Childbirth Insurance Drug Catalog were collected; drugs that were marked as contraindication for children were selected and relevant contraindication information in the Chinese drug insert sheets was collected. Instructions of the above-mentioned drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (English labels) were also collected, and the information on pediatric medication was reviewed and compared with the Chinese drug insert sheets. Results:A total of 222 drugs were labeled as contraindication for children in the Chinese drug insert sheets, of which 149 were available for their English labels; 123 drugs (17.5%) were not labeled as contraindication for children in English labels, and 26 (82.5%) were labeled. The 123 drugs that were not labeled as contraindication for children in the English labels included the following conditions: 58 were labeled as contraindication for children of some age in the Chinese drug insert sheets but not in the English labels, and relevant medication information was provided; 40 were labeled as contraindication for children of some age group in the Chinese drug insert sheets but was described as the effectiveness and safety of the use for children have not yet been determined for this age group in the English labels; 13 were labeled as contraindication for children in the Chinese drug insert sheets, but the medication information on children in the English labels was not clear or missing; 12 were labeled as contraindicated for children in Chinese drug insert sheets but not in the English labels, only expressed as not yet determined or not recommended for use, etc., with inconsistent age group. Among the 26 drugs labeled as contraindication for children in both Chinese and English instructions, the contraindication age group were the same in above 2 instructions for 20 drugs, and were inconsistent for the other 6 drugs; reasons for contraindication were described in both the 2 instructions for 17 drugs (13 were consistent, 4 were inconsistent), only in English labels for 8 drugs, and only in Chinese drug insert sheets for 1 drug.Conclusions:Many drugs are labeled as contraindication for children in Chinese drug insert sheets, but reasons for contraindication are rarely explained. Differences in children′s age in contraindications exist for some drugs between the Chinese drug insert sheets and English labels. The information on contraindications for children in Chinese drug insert sheets still needs to be further improved.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis(LCH)is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasm characterized by aberrant differentiation or proliferation of mononuclear phagocytes. Orbital involvement,termed orbital LCH(OLCH),typically presents with periorbital masses,eyelid edema,and localized osteolytic lesions. Besides,optic nerve involvement may cause diplopia,visual impairment and so on,significantly impairing quality of life. Central nervous system-Langerhans cell histiocytosis(CNS-LCH),including central diabetes insipidus and neurodegeneration,may cause irreversible sequelae such as diabetes insipidus,progressive tremor,and ataxia,severely impacting prognosis. Current management of OLCH and its association with CNS-LCH remain controversial.The Histiocyte Society considers OLCH to be one of the risk factors for CNS-LCH,and therefore should receive 6 months of systemic chemotherapy to prevent sequelae. However,conflicting evidence suggests an unclear relationship between OLCH and CNS-LCH progression,with studies demonstrating favorable outcomes in isolated orbital cases treated through localized approaches(surgical excision,curettage,or intralesional corticosteroid injection).Patients with unifocal OLCH exhibit favorable prognosis and potential for spontaneous resolution,and may could spare from systemic chemotherapy to avoid related adverse effects.

Objective:To validate the application value and safety of blunt-tip needle technique for computer tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous biopsy of pancreatic lesions.Methods:Clinical data of 103 patients with pancreatic lesions undergoing CT-guided percutaneous biopsy with blunt-tip needle approach in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2021 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 64 males and 39 females, aged (61.5±12.3) years. According to the access routes, procedures were divided into regular group ( n=70) and hard-to-reach group ( n=33). Technical data such as the duration of procedure, number of needle correction scans, and the incidence of complications were recorded. The technical success rate, diagnostic yield, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and false-negative rates were compared between groups. Results:The overall technical success rate was 100%(103/103). According to postoperative pathology and clinical follow-ups, the final diagnosis of 103 patients was 98 cases with neoplastic lesions and 5 with non-neoplastic lesions. The overall diagnostic rate of percutaneous biopsy was 91.3%(94/103), with a false negative rate of 5.8%(6/103), sensitivity of 92.9%(90/98), and specificity of 100%(90/90). Duration of procedure [(22.8±6.3) min vs. (22.4±7.9) min], number of needle correction scans [5.0 (3.0, 6.0) times vs. 5.0 (4.0, 7.5) times], length of target access [(69.9±15.4) mm vs. (73.7±17.4) mm], diagnostic yield [90.0%(63/70) vs. 93.9%(31/33)], and accuracy rate [90.0%(63/70) vs. 93.9%(31/33)] were comparable between regular group and hard-to-reach group (all P>0.05). Complications occurred in 8 patients, including 5 patients with hemorrhage and 3 with pancreatitis, which were successfully managed with conventional therapy. The incidence of complications were similar between the hard-to-reach and regular group [9.1%(3/33) vs. 7.1%(5/70), χ2=0.12, P=0.730]. Conclusion:CT-guided percutaneous biopsy in the diagnosis of pancreatic lesions with blunt-tip needle approach has a satisfactory technical success rate, diagnostic yield, accuracy, and safety, which can be used in patients with hard-to-reach lesions.
